The actual lawyer called me back and acted dismissive, suggested we spend less time prepping for appeal which made no sense obviously. Suggested signing a release before even talking with me more than 5 minutes when prior they never asked for such a thing. None of my questions were answered about MassHealth's questionable behavior. I am extremely vulnerable, had a unique case and was essentially talked to like I was a problem or a case they didn't actually care about... the careful crafting of the lawyers words during our call tells me she was trying to find a way out because no one wants to take my case. Untrustworthy service.
Honestly, extremely disappointed. I have a case, I spent all morning sending them paperwork to be refused because they did not help me with the BOH hearing and I wasn't a former client. I have everything in writing, the insurance admitted wrongdoing, and the BOH decision was also extremely flawed and not based on medical documentation and reasoning. I now must get a feeding tube and have been directly harmed...
Honestly, extremely disappointed. I have a case, I spent all morning sending them paperwork to be refused because they did not help me with the BOH hearing and I wasn't a former client. I have everything in writing, the insurance admitted wrongdoing, and the BOH decision was also extremely flawed and not based on medical documentation and reasoning. I now must get a feeding tube and have been directly harmed numerous times by my insurance. They do not help the most vulnerable or the disabled like they say they do. I have spoken to other law firms and they said that HLA like to pick and choose their wins and because of my complexity and my degrading health , they chose to waste my time. They did agree I need immediate help, but just not from them.
Wouldn't trust them if you are extremely sick and being neglected with insurance, even with concrete proof.

When I was just 18 years old, I found myself buried under an overwhelming amount of medical debt after an injury. I had no idea how to navigate the confusing world of insurance, billing, and collections but I knew something wasn’t lining up with my bills. And that’s when Emily and Andrew stepped into my life through Health Law Advocates and everything changed.
From the very beginning, they were patient, compassionate, and incredibly responsive. Every time I had a question no matter how big or small, they were there with clear answers and genuine care. They didn’t just handle my case; they taught me how to handle life. I learned how insurance systems work, how to dispute unfair bills, and most importantly, how to advocate for myself in situations that once felt impossible.
Because of their encouragement and connections, I found the courage to share my story publicly. I took part in advocacy efforts I never could have imagined appearing in a news segment, sharing my experience in a newspaper, and even giving testimony at the Massachusetts State House. Each time, I knew I wasn’t alone; I had a team behind me who believed in me.
Health Law Advocates, as a nonprofit, serves people who otherwise could never afford this kind of legal help—and they do it free of charge. Emily and Andrew didn’t just solve my medical debt problem; they helped shape me into a more confident, informed, and empowered adult.
I will always be grateful for their guidance, their expertise, but most importantly their truly caring nature. They changed my life in ways that go far beyond a legal case, supporting me and cheering me on through so many phases of my young life. If there's anyone you can trust with your case, it is Health Law Advocates.
